The
peoples of Africa are often described in terms of their ethnic
background or their languages. There are several thousand ethnic groups in Africa, ranging in physical stature from the short Pygmies to the tall Maasai, each with its own cultural traditions.
Here are only a few of them.

Please
note: Some of the peoples
and associations presented here are so closely related that more than
one topic heading may apply. For example, The Akan people are
given a page of their own, yet the Asante ( Ashanti ) are also an Akan
people, as are the Akuapem. So, a full search for the 'Akan' may
involve looking at pages dedicated to sub-groups as well. Some
sub-group pages may contain only a link or two, but they are still part
of a much larger picture.

You will find a similar relationship among some of other peoples
listed here. This is a case where a little advanced knowledge of
the subject may be an advantage when using these pages.

Kusu People
__ "The Kusu, who in the past were hunters, have in
recent years embraced a more sedentary lifestyle that includes farming
on land that is cleared by men. They raise maize, yams, beans, and also
domesticated animals, including cows, pigs, goats, and chickens. Fishing
is performed by both men and women using nets fashioned by men, and
hunting is still considered to be of ritual importance and serves as a
powerful metaphor in most communities." You will find material related
to art, culture, history, religion, political structure and more. - From
